<p>I'm sort of having a crisis. I just realized that i didn't send my parent's tax returns to like five of the schools I applied to, including Cornell, Tufts, and Northwestern. The deadline for the tax forms were March 1st, but everything else (FAFSA, CSS) was on time. If I send them now, will they still consider me for aide? What should I do???!!!</p>
<p>Contact the financial aid office regarding your blunder and send out the forms ASAP.</p>
<p>They definately will still consider you. The tax forms are used to simply confirm that everything you wrote in your CSS, FAFSA, etc is true. They need proof, obviously. Just send them. (I sent some out today as well.)</p>
<p>Yeah we just mailed ours a couple days ago. March 1st is usually just a priority deadline, which only really makes a difference is they give finaid on a first come, first serve basis</p>
